MATERIALS

• Yarn A: 3 (4, 4) skeins of Purl Soho’s Worsted Twist, 100% merino. Each skein is 164 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 492-656 yards required. I used the color Artemisia Green. (NOTE: We no longer offer Worsted Twist, but choose from one of our other worsted/aran weight yarns.)
• Yarn B: 2 (3, 3) skeins of Worsted Twist, 100% merino; approximately 328-492 yards required. I used the color Stillwater Blue.
• A US 8 (5 mm), 32-inch circular needle
• A spare US 8, circular or straight needle
• A few yards of scrap yarn

GAUGE
16 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch

SIZES
To fit shoulder widths measuring 14-15 (16-16½, 17-17½) inches

• Finished Dimensions: 30 (35, 37½) inches across x 30 inches from top to bottom (including fold-over collar)
• Finished Height of Armhole: 8 inches
• Finished Width across Shoulders: 12 (14, 15) inches
• Finished Width of Fronts: 9 (10½, 11¼) inches

FIT: The length measurements are the same for all three sizes, and you have a choice of how to wear the vest: either 12 inches from hem to underarm with a 10 inch collar; or upside down with 10 inches from hem to underarm and a 12-inch collar.

NOTES
This piece is knit ‘sideways’ from one vertical edge to the other, rather than from top to bottom or bottom to top.
